It was a good trait to have -- caring about something so deeply that you would fight for it. It had taken him many years to really begin to care. He had always been a loyal man; staying true to oneself and one's family had been engrained in him since birth. And yet he had left his family, not once but twice, rather than trying to fix things and fight for what he truly cared about. Bronze knew he'd been a coward, but now he was determined to never fall back into his selfish old ways. His gaze was serious and yet warm at the same time. He admitted that he wasn't old enough to rule yet, but his words expressed interest that was obvious. "Wise for your age," he commented conversationally. "And humble enough to know that you are not yet ready. A fine quality of a real leader." He would grin, nodding his head. A more power-hungry creature might not care that they weren't ready ... might simply want what they felt was owed to them. But Rune seemed a bit more wary. A smart boy, indeed. "Well -- you handled me rudely waking you up well enough," he noted. "If you do become a ruler, you have to know you might never get much alone time. That your pack will always come before whatever else you might want to do." Bronze shrugged, wondering if the boy had considered that. "I would fight you, but I am not feeling up to it today. Maybe in the future." The brute winked, but knew he was getting too old for fighting. One wrong movement and he could find himself with a sprained or even broken limb. "You seem a decent boy, Rune. With some training, you'll be all set. If you believe in something and try, I am certain you can make nearly anything happen. I have found that if you simply are yourself, you will make the best impression." It might be difficult for a young man to gain a big following quickly, but if he was steadfast and firm, Bronze felt certain that wolves would see the intentions hidden deep in his heart and many would even be willing to give his pack a try. He knew it was often better to suck up one's pride and join a pack than risk being in danger from the elements or from predators. |
